1. "And what would you like me to do about it?"

   Delaina replied to LouisVRN's topic in General Nursing

   I agree. My husband asked me if it made a person flatulent when the commercials first came on. All drugs should be descriptive of what they DO, like Glucagon and Flomax, IMHO. :)

2. "And what would you like me to do about it?"

   Delaina replied to LouisVRN's topic in General Nursing

   I've only been working for three shifts, but I've already had a patient call me into his room to ask if I'd listen to something. I went in there thinking he wanted me to listen to his heart, but turns out he wanted me to listen to his flatulence. Af...

3. Low census/flex time

   Delaina replied to Lunah's topic in Emergency

   Sadly, I'm a fecal attractor also. I call my scrubs "poojamas". I just graduated in May and have only worked three days so far at my new job, but on all three of those days someone was asked to take off because the census was low. On the first day,...

   http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/news/qa/h1n1pregnanttrials.htm they're still asking for pregnant women to enroll for the study. notice also when the clinical trial began and how many pregnant women each site is testing (only 20). http://www.fda.gov/downloa...

6. NY Nurses to Rally Against Mandatory H1N1 Vaccinations

   Delaina replied to amy0123's topic in COVID

   I was given a handout from the FDA that says they didn't KNOW the side effects the H1N1 vaccine would have on a fetus. They also added that they didn't know if the vaccine could cause future fertility problems. I'm finding it so strange that people ...

7. NY Nurses to Rally Against Mandatory H1N1 Vaccinations

   Delaina replied to amy0123's topic in COVID

   I couldn't agree more. Consistently throughout Nursing school I've been told that I need to protect my patients' autonomy. Now that I'm sticking up for my own, they're trying to shut me down.

8. NY Nurses to Rally Against Mandatory H1N1 Vaccinations

   Delaina replied to amy0123's topic in COVID

   I've been called a conspiracy theorists over refusing a mandatory H1N1 vaccine, and the funny thing is, if I were TRULY thinking of a conspiracy it would be this: Let all the "sheeple" people get the vaccine, and kill the rest with the swine flu. Th...

10. Question about the TEAS (nervous)

    Delaina replied to Delaina's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, the actual test is only 170 questions? That's not too bad!

11. Question about the TEAS (nervous)

    Delaina replied to Delaina's topic in General Nursing

    If you take the test on the computer, does it tell you right after you submit an answer if you were right or wrong? Or do you have to wait until the end of the test to know your score?

12. Question about the TEAS (nervous)

    Delaina replied to Delaina's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I have never been a big watch-wearer, but I know I need to get one soon anyway. That's exactly what I was thinking...why do I need to know about how long it would take for the sound of lightning to hit my ears to be a nurse?!! I have one more q...

13. Question about the TEAS (nervous)

    Delaina replied to Delaina's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, thank you! I figured it was probably something like that because I remember one girl telling me that she thinks she did poorly on the test because she ran out of time on the math and hadn't answered a lot of the questions. I don't have a watch, ...

14. Question about the TEAS (nervous)

    Delaina posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I have to take the TEAS exam tomorrow, and I was wondering if anyone knows if it's better to skip a question I don't know or should I try to guess? I didn't know if it would affect the scoring since some tests don't count unanswered questions...

15. The most difficult semester you've ever had?

    Delaina replied to Delaina's topic in Arkansas

    I go to NWACC as well. I'm really enjoying all of my classes this semester, and you're right, HG&D does take a lot of reading. I have Micro this summer and then I'm done with my gen ed courses (YaY!). There have been over 200 applicants for th...
